In a household with two working adults, a baby, needy pets, and a never-ending list of things to clean it is necessary to find simple dinner options. They need to be filling, yet fast. Extra points for little to no cleanup! Ever since Ava started…
William and I have been away from the blog for several months now- but for good reason! We have moved back to Alabama and into a new home. Going from a tiny, city apartment to a house with a yard is a wonderful lesson in…
There are two things I love about this recipe: 1) It can be made all in one pot so there are fewer dishes for all my fellow chocolate-craving, backache-ridden mommas-to-be. 2) If you get tired halfway through and decide to quit, you still have delicious…
